I think this issue is fixed on a more permanent basis.The WEO Java app is now commercially signed and should pass the new security requirements started with that latest release of Java: Version 7U51Everyone should be able to reset the security settings back to the original ones and the WEO Java app should work now.Please let me know how things are going.

Follow up:I think this has resolved most of the connection issues with the newest version of Java.All that is needed is to answer the security prompt when starting the game.

If seeing a white screen when starting the game, then you will have to use a browser that supports the Java Applet Plugin on your computer.The list has been shortened in the past couple of years as some browsers have dropped support for some plugins and plugins all together.I have been using Firefox (V49) and Internet Explorer 11 successfully on Windows 7 and Windows 10.
